Is Tidal Sunray much more difficult to get high/


extreme performance compared to the Tidal CDSE ? Which amps would you use for either ? Am planning a once in XXX years upgrade to my system. Have some old mac gear MC2720 and C37 power and pre respectively, transport Wadia wt-2000, Wadia Digital 2000 DAC, B and W 804s (being the most recent addition 7-8 years ago !). Read about the Devialet D Premier and thought would do my wife a favor to reduce the amp clutter + more relevantly integrate my AV stuff using the devialet and stream music etc. 3 months later i realized my speakers are not good enough so did the rounds from Wilson to Verity. That then made me realize that i want to go back to ugly amps as the Devialet (which i must now sell at 3 months of age :)) while sounding great and looking gorgeous, wouldnt optimize speakers i might eventually buy. Am debating between tidal contrivas and the sunrays (different price points i know) and wanted to assess if people believed/knew /experienced a Sunray's performance in an open living room format versus that of a Contriva and more importantly if the sunrays would need much more expensive amps to get "value/extreme sound" from ?

if you don't buy TIDAL amps or TIDAL LPX
personal i suggest you don't buy Sunray

there is a pair Sunray T1 in Audiogon
only ask for price $59500USD
and maybe you can have more better price after negotiate
this pair already save a lots,what you save can hlep you buy 2 TIDAL impulse amps(active crossover inside)

Sunray is a Heaven/Hell Speaker
without TIDAL amps and Active ,
it will be more eazy put you in the hell
Avantgarden - I bought Sunray speakers and am contemplating impulse amps as you suggest ... Either new or used depending on the availability , pricing etc ... How much better are impulse compared to the flagship impact ? Have you personally heard both side by side by any chance ?

Thanks

I am interested in the sunray. Could they be run with bryston 4bssts? What about pass labs XA200.8 ?
